Breath by LOUISE CROSBIE

I found it hard to narrow down where to go with this kit as it lends itself to many seasons. In the end I decided, for the first layout, I would stick with its very obvious nature theme.

This moody woodland photo was taken by my son when he was first learning about photography but it’s still one of my favourites. The sun coming through the trees is somewhat ethereal looking. And it’s clear that the photo was taken as the trees were beginning to turn for autumn. 

There was also a bit of a hessian (burlap) theme so I went with that. 

Using a strip of hessian as a back drop, I cut out lots of leaf dies, as well as a little deer, from the coloured card in the kit. I’ve inked the edges with vintage photo ink using a blending tool just so they won’t look so flat and lifeless.
